Problem with binary operation and result code

Problem with binary operation and result code

[Groschopf, Leonhard]

Hallo,

I am trying to compile code like this:

Class object;

If (SUCCESSFUL != object.get_a_value(value) ){
	//error ....
}

 
But g++ doesnÂ’t like this. g++ wants an get_a_value method without a 
return value. 

This code is compliable with a sun complier and I am wondering if some of 
you had a similar problem. There are really a huge amount of these 
statements, so re-writing is not a good idea.  Is there a compiler 
options to make g++ understand such a statement?

This works:

Class object;
ResultCodes res;

res = object.get_a_value(value);

If (SUCCESSFUL != res){
	//error
}

I am using:
g++ 3.0.4. 
RH 7.2 /  2.4.7-10

Thank you very much for your help!!

Leonhard

Hi Leonhard,

Works on my system.

Please give a complete compilable program example that replicates the error.

Thanks,

Please post an example which is short but sufficient to reproduce the
    problem.

DONT try 'approximate' the code; you did that here, and you wrote
    'Class', which isn't C++ at all.
